President’s Message
Happy August! I hope you all had a fabulous, productive,
and fun summer. Kids are going back to school, and
football season is around the corner. We are all getting
back into the swing of things, and Fall is coming! We
have a few announcements to make and some really
important dates to mark on your calendar.
We are currently accepting Director nominations until
August 5th to serve with 2017 President Kathy Fortner.
Nomination forms can be found in the July newsletter or

The Arkansas REALTORS® Convention is coming up. This year it will be held
September 19-21st in Fayetteville. Registration is open on the Arkansas
Realtors.org website.
Table Top Night is going to be so much fun this year! The date is Monday,
October 17th and the theme is “Night in the Old West: the Good, the Bad, and the
Brokers”. Information is going out to affiliates and a flier is in the newsletter. So
many exciting things are planned this year: a DJ playing country hits, photo booth,
barbeque, a country-dance competition, best decorated booth competition, and one
of our Affiliates is planning a Saloon at their booth! All of this fun and a great
cause to boot - our Silent Auction is benefiting Special Olympics Arkansas! I can’t
wait to see you there.
